To clarify, what I mean here is that merging the changes of both the SAOPs changes and the removal of arrayKeyData seems to increase the patch size and increases the maximum complexity of each component patch's review. Separate patches may make this more reviewable, or not, but no comment was given on why it is better to merge the changes into a single patch. - Matthias
